AC says there will be some 'guest appearances' - Rockin' Roy having a run out on the wing? Rolty at prop? Looking forward to seeing this squad 😆 

on a serious note he also says that a player from the pathway will be making his debut and is likely to sign next year which is great news.

Rest as many as we can ..games a total dead rubber ..if can I'd rest every player that's going to feature in the final ...yep Zak Bennett ..gaffer said he's being signed on contract for next season and will be the first to come from the new pathway ...very highly rated apparently ...been training with the squad all season

Im up for it, Im 46 but I will put my hand up for 20 mins. Will have to request 1/2 a days holiday. Left the club a voicemail, if my contribution means we can rest a player, I see it as playing a part in winning the final! 

Ps I wish it was vs Workington and not Sheffield, think the pace they play at would suit me.

I don’t think he will risk playing Mc Whirter or Dolan.

We will have a better idea of the team tonight when we announce our 21 man squad. 
We should also find out today who and how many loan players we’ve signed for the Sheffield game.

Sounded better news on Foz as may be okay for the 1895 Final. So Doolan could play interchange 9 possibly, but all depends on how many loans, U19s and amateurs play.I bet Sheffield fans be happy seeing us with a weak team. 🤣

I read on Widnes rugby.com chat from Mike Parsons and not ligaments tear like suspected.He has an outside chance in the write up. So not definitely but looks positive.

Well if fozzy back that gives us a great chance 

missing Joe edge of course but sambou is not a bad replacement

if Connell back, we are not far off current full strength

lets have a great day !
